personally i like the USB one better. i believe it takes the place of your soundcard when you plug it in but i might be wrong there, im sure someone will clarify. i use usb because it seemd to fix my COD2 problem i used to have but thats another issue entirely. i chose USB also because a lot of time its easier to find a usb port on front then it is a headphone jack port

Some have both. The jack is used for the headset and USB is used for the mic and an amplifier.

I have a Triton head set, it has both USB and stereo plugs. The USB plug powers the headset, my speakers have headphone and microphone jacks, the speaker amp controls the volume also. I've had sets with only stereo plugs, I really can't tell much difference in sound quality. Both are very accurate, as far as pinpointing sounds on the playing field. The USB headset has a much longer cord, then analog sets I've owned, which is very convenient as it allows you to sit a comfortable distance from your monitor without stressing the cords, which has been the main killer of the jack headsets I've owned.
